Kung Fu Panda

Who: Jaclyn
What: Kung Fu Panda
Where: AMC Pleasure Island
Why: Ellen had free movie passes

This movie looked good yet cheesy when the previews first rolled out, but I embraced my inner child (as did Ellen) and we said "we should see that sometime". Well, we figured we were being smart when we waited for much of the hype (and children) to die down but we were not that fortunate. There was a pretty full house...and most were LOUD CHILDREN!

Anyway, this is a very cute movie about a panda named Po who dreams of being a Kung Fu fighter. His father wants him to carry on the family business of noodles. When the time comes where the "Dragon Warrior" must be named to fight a past enemy of the Kung Fu master Shifu, Po wants to see who it will be.

When Po finally reaches the palace, it turns out he is destined to be the Dragon Warrior and Shifu thinks he's a joke. However, after much deliberation, he finally believes he can train him to be a warrior and does.

I laughed many times during this movie. Sure, some parts are only humorous to 5 year olds, but it does have stuff for the older kids too.
